From failing matric twice to being a founder of a multiservice-offering company which has employed more than 10 people, this is the story of 23-year-old Lesedi Bogacwi from Pretoria.
Bogacwi owns ByLight, which offers services that help with everyday tasks such as babysitting, running personal errands, meeting and greeting guests at the airport, housekeeping and cleaning, among other tasks.
Her pivot into entrepreneurship came as a result of academic challenge. In 2021, Bogacwis dreams of pursuing a degree were shattered when she could not secure space at a higher institution because of her poor 2020 matric results.
